I made this for my granddaughter Annalee, the owl lover and new reader of chapter books.
Its made from craft felt. The stem has a pipe cleaner sewed inside to give the bookmark a little stability.
I sewed the bits in place by hand using buttonhole, running, and whip stitches. The pupils of the eyes are French knots.
The bookmark slides into the pages of the book, then hooks over the top!
This was inspired by a crochet pattern I saw online. I decided to make it from felt because it was faster to make that way ... and the Christmas box needed to be mailed!
